Produced by George Martin. The growth of The Beatles from Help! to Rubber Soul to Revolver is staggering. That it took place in the span of a year and a half is amazing. It baffles me when people say that Revolver is nothing special. This album is special in every way. They took the under three minute pop song format and turned it upside down, into something it had never been before. Hard to believe that "Eleanor Rigby" clocks in at 2:08. "Tomorrow Never Knows" at 2:57. How do you cram that much experience into such a short period of time? Genius, I say. Genius.

Produced by Bob Johnston. A stunning double album at the height of Dylan's creativity. Being able to utilize full band instrumentation proves to be a catalyst for him to write even better songs, and he's on top of everything he touches at this point. Even "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35", maligned as it is, is a genius of a song, proving that he doesn't have to be writing a novel each time out. This album is sprawling, brave exceptional and perfect at each and every turn. Why is Dylan legend? Right here.

Produced by Brian Wilson. One of the records that changed the way albums are made, Pet Sounds is a great mix of non traditional rock instrumentation, great songwriting, and what always made the Beach Boys great: perfect harmony vocals. "God Only Knows" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and Wilson's vision here is breathtaking. With just enough doo wop influenced surf rock in the mix to make Pet Sounds a truly unique album, one of the best ever made.
